Abstract: This article describes in detail the integration of a set of functional, agricultural machinery management agencies, service agencies, and users composed of three linkage management technology. The technology will be fixed-point positioning of agricultural tools, job trajectory, image acquisition, workload calculation, index detection, agricultural management and other functions close in the management of agricultural operations management environment, the macro-management of agricultural machinery, command and control scheduling, operational statistics, development decisions and individual management play a positive role in promoting. Test: Based on the visual monitoring technology, the rubber plant ditching and fertilizing combined operation machine can finish the joint operation of ditching, fertilizing and earthing at one time to achieve the purpose of avoiding the volatilization and loss of the limited water in the soil, thereby improving the fertilizer utilization rate, efficiency, and lowing cost. The machine is equipped with Dongfanghong 804 tractor, ditching depth up to 45cm, productivity 1.63hm2/h, fuel consumption 3.4Kg/hm2, fertilization uniformity 92.3%, the coverage rate is up to 96.9%. 1 INTRODUCTION In the natural rubber production cycle need to rubber tree ditching, fertilization and other Natural rubber is an important strategic material. It management operations to meet the needs of the is also one of the important cash crops, unique growth of natural rubber. Fertilization is one of the resources and pillar industries in the tropics in our important measures of rapid growth and high yield country. It plays an important role in promoting the of rubber trees. Rubber trees that have already adjustment of agricultural structure in the hot zone started to cut rubber need to be pressed and fertilized and increasing farmers' income. In order to every year. After they stop cutting, they dig the encourage the development of the natural rubber green ditch (about 40cm in depth), press and spread industry, the state started the seedling subsidy the green, and then cover the soil. General project of natural rubber seed. The Ministry of fertilization per acre 250 ~ 300kg, during the cut cut, 2 Agriculture also formulated and promulgated the you need to top-dressing 750kg/hm . At present, the "Regional Layout for the Advantages of Natural basic fertilization of rubber plantations use special Rubber", clarifying the advantages of the three organic fertilizer, the main fertilizer to powder, but major natural rubber planting areas in Hainan, also granular. The late 90s of last century, the Yunnan and Guangdong. In recent years, it is Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences Institute actively rehabilitating the natural rubber plantation of Agricultural Machinery and Xuwen County Qujie area with a planting area of more than 1800 mu and friendly farm tools factory cooperation on the rubber is one of the major One of the agricultural industries forest fertilizer machine, ditching and plow furrow (ZHANG Yuan, 2016). plow was studied, developed a plastic ditching plow, 621 Deng, Y., Zhang, Y., Wei, L., Wang, Y., Zhang, Z., Liu, S., Li, M., Dong, X. and Cao, J. Development of Rubber Fertilizer Machine Based on Visual Monitoring Technology.

All rights reserved ICECTT 2018 - 3rd International Conference on Electromechanical Control Technology and Transportation fertilization Machine and pressed green plow were 2 DESIGN OF WHOLE applied in small scale in Qujie Town, Xuwen STRUCTURE AND County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province (Figure 1), and achieved good economic and social MONITORING SYSTEM OF benefits (ZHANG Yuan, 2016). However, there FERTILIZER APPLICATION were still some problems that affected their further promotion application. Such as fertilization machine 2.1 Structural features with two rows of operations, the rubber tree root damage more serious, only 20 ~ 30cm depth of Based on the visual monitoring technology, the ditching, reducing fertilizer efficiency, and fertilizer rubber plant ditching and fertilization combined is not uniform. However, ditching and pressing are operation machine is designed with the technical all single tasks with low efficiency and labor ideas of combination of functions, comprehensive intensity, and there are many problems such as performance and remote management. The standard stealing, leakage and acceptance difficulties in the three-point rear suspension mainly includes the management process. Abroad on the plastic garden frame, suspension system, ditching system, ditching, fertilizer and other management machinery Transmission system, remote monitoring system, research is rare, rare reports. etc., among which the fertilizer device includes a worm gear transmission, a main transmission shaft, a fertilizer tank, a disc, a scraper, a fertilizer hopper, a transmission shaft, a drainage pipe and a connecting frame. The whole machine should be able to complete a one-time rubber plant ditching, fertilizing, earthwork and other joint operations and remote office management functions. Machine structure shown in Figure 2. Figure 1: Double row fertilizers for rubber. At the same time, as the economy continues to develop, the labor force continues to move to the cities (WANG Yeqin, 2016; Shi Yinyan, 2017; Li Hongjun, 2017). There are fewer and fewer workers willing to engage in rubber plantation management and the rubber plantation faces no one's control. Therefore, in order to reduce the labor intensity of rubber-field management workers, improve work efficiency, and strengthen the long-term monitoring Figure 2: The main structure for rubber fertilizer machine. and management of agricultural implements and agricultural materials to further reduce the cost of Machine has the following characteristics: production management, develop a tractor First, the whole machine is designed according to supporting plasticized ditching and fertilizing the technical ideas of function combination, combined operation machine , To replace the structure combination and performance manual fertilization operation will be the inevitable comprehensiveness, and the matching power is trend of the future development of rubber plant moderate. Compared with the present management ditching fertilization equipment. status, the machine can complete the ditching, fertilizing and earthworking together at one time to avoid the limited Volatilization and loss of moisture, thereby increasing fertilizer efficiency, high efficiency and low cost (ZHANG Yuan, 2017). Second is the use of frame-type rack structure, open plow, soil cover and fertilization mechanism and the use of bolting connection with the rack bolting method, fertilizer institutions do not work, the dynamic match only to achieve trenching operations; such as the bolt disassembled after 622 Development of Rubber Fertilizer Machine Based on Visual Monitoring Technology matching other components , To meet the other c.Acceleration sensor: obtain real-time machine rack use, to achieve the rack of versatility. acceleration of agricultural machinery, when the Third, the installation of fertilizer monitoring and agricultural machinery complex operating conditions, alarm system, through four high-definition camera the "turbulent forward" acceleration inevitably monitoring system, the driver can observe the status changes rapidly, the statistical variance is much of fertilization and soil cultivation effect through the larger than other operations display at any time during the work process.

At the same time, the tractor power is transmitted to the power transmission
